Probably a bolt action 30-06 with a 3-9 power scope. Thinking something with a synthetic stock that you don't mind getting beat around a little, and probably a leupold vx-II.

AR in 6.8 SPC, have to reload to make it cheap though, if you can find componenets. Have fun looking for something new.

.223 or .22-250 if you want an everyday coyote gun. I'd go .243 or .260/7-08 if you want something for coyotes, and good longer range speed goat or deer gun.
You might want to pick up a rimfire (22 mag or 17 HMR) for ground squirrels and other varmits.

Looking at what you already have I'd say a .223/5.56 would fit right in. Or maybe a lever action 30/30 so you can play old west cowboy?

Savage Weather Warrior model 116 chambered in .270 win. (270 ammo should be easy to find and reasonably priced.)

A bolt action 243 would be perfect.

Over and Under 243 - 20 guage. Fits on the horse or in the truck nice and you can kill anything with it.
